I think he is actually referring to MoP, WoD. The pinnacle of Enhance shammy gameplay. Where everything looked and felt like it was hitting like a truck even if it wasn’t!
And flame nova to do mouth watering, FPS murdering explosions from those spread dots!
I cant remember did SS also have the debuff that increased nature damage in mop. I know it did in cata which was awesome build the stacks and nuke with earth shock for nice damage.
So you prefer the poor mans fury warrior. Well hey there if fury warrior for you. its about as good as Legion Enhancement.
And for all those who are not so happy with the current state of PvP enhancement shammy – WoD was the BEST time to play enhancement shaman in PvP (arena, battlegrounds, or anything).
Not sure what the OP is referring to in regards to content specifically. This entire expansion has been solid overall for an enhancement shaman in terms of PvE. I cannot personally speak for PvP.
If you play any PvE content in this expansion you will certainly get accepted to groups for pretty much any content associated with PvE. The subject of community perception all-time low is too broad and unattached to anything specific.
Perhaps the OP can elaborate on this or state clearly what is meant by this post.
For what a clownshow WoD was in general, it really was a good time to be Enh. Spreading flameshock onto the entire stacked enemy BG team and pressing fire nova? chefs kiss
I remember leveling one up when I came back to the game after getting free 30-days from something having to do with the Warcraft Movie, but the Legion pre-patch hit somewhere along the leveling journey and… It was just awful.
AWFUL I tell you. I had to buy a level boost it was so bad how weak and incapable I was of killing things in the bloody old world at a tolerable speed. 90% of my spellbook instantly vanished.
Sure, if by “tidy up” we mean add more complexity to the Storm build such that the priority of mindlessly spamming SS doesn’t overtake every other button and resource.
I can’t remember if it was mop or wod, but having fire ele and ascendance on opener, with fire ele fulfilling the same lava lash stacks searing totem gave, and having fire nova be an actual nuke….shiver
That said, i still think i overall prefer the smooth throughput this current iteration offers, where our damage is only tied to a ~30-second “cooldown” window instead of a 5-minute totem and a 3-minute ascendance
